IDGAFFOODS (@idgaffoods) joins us on the podcast today. We’ve had a lot of great guests on here, but there will never be another episode quite like this.

A former substance user now twelve years clean, IDGAFFOODS took to social media last year after becoming frustrated with the relentless unsolicited health tips constantly popping up online. His first video was in his kitchen, eating a jar of tomato sauce while recounting how he used to chase highs in places most people never see. Since then, he’s eaten countless foods off the pavement, drank gallons of seed oils, and plenty more, all in the name of taking his power back during this resurgence of food hysteria. After all, these aren’t the worst things he’s put in his body.

An unintended bonus: IDGAFFOODS’s untraditional escapades have become something of a beacon for folks struggling with substance use, mental health disorders, and eating disorders. They look to him as a guiding light in a world full of armchair experts and self-declared health gurus. He’s only ever granted two interviews in his career: one to GQ, and the other to us. That’s something we’re incredibly grateful for, as it gives us the chance to share a fascinating story of recovery and learning how to enjoy life a little more.
